A CLEVER DRINKING SONG WRITTEN BY

has been and will be treasured by those
to whom it was given in the days before

DRINKING Song.
I've been drinking, I've been drinking
To inioxication's edge
Do not chide me, for the tipple
Wasn't mentioned in the pledge.
Nay, believe me, twas not brandy
Brought the roses that you see;
One may &c, " finer crimson
From purer eau di rie.
No, indeed, it was not claret;
That were something oyer-weak,
There's a vastly better vintage
For the painting of the check
Not Angelica, the nectar
By Loyola's children pressed
From the Andalusian clusters
Ripened in the golden West.
Not Madeira, Hook nor sherry
No, indeed, tits none of these
Makes me giddy in the forehead,
Makes me tremble in the knees
Nay-I own tits the honey
That favored lover sips
All unheeding of the danger
From pair of lucious lips.
Thus it is that I've been drinking
TO INVESTIGATIONS edge,
Till | marvel that the tipple
Isn't mentioned in the pledge.
For the taste is so enchanting
IT'S impossible to see
Should it grow into habit
What the consequence may be.
Well-I'll heed the sage's lesson
pheasant, though it be in vain)
And by drinking very largely
Try to sober me again!

The cutest thing we have seen in a
month is the following from the Win.
field (Kansas) Courier
In one of our Sunday schools, the
other Sabbath, the superintendent took
one of the smaller classes and began to
ask the scholars what they knew about
Peter. One of the little girls held up
her hand and said she knew something
about him.
"Well, my DEAR, said the superin-
tendent, "that's right. l am glad to
see there Is one little girl who will put
those larger boys and girls to shame"
The little girl came forward to the
platform and was told to tell the audi
encc what she knew about Peter.
She put her finger in her mouth, and
looking very smiling, said:
''Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a wife and couldn't keep her:
Put her in pumpkin shell,
"And there he kept her very WE'LL
Amid the roar that followed she hur-
ried gayly to her seat.

Settlers Will be Protected.

Since the publication of the order to
drive the intruders from the Neutral
Strip several inquiries have been re-
ceived by the Times about the meaning
of the order. A correspondent at
Woodford, Indian Territory, is partacu-
larly anxious to know whether it is the
cattle kings or the settlers who are call
ed intruders by the department. 1t is
not easy to foretell exactly what the
policy of the administration in dealing
with the Strip will be. One thing may
be depended upon by all honest settlers,
they will be treated fairly and with all
possible indulgence. The administra.
zion has consistently protected the
claims and interests of settlers in all it's
public land management. The specu-
lators, railroad and corporate land grab
bers had fastened themselves on their
illegal hoardings 80 closely that they
fancied themselves able to easily main
tain their powers with their political
friends: their shrewd attorneys and
their money. The administration has
pursued the investigation of these in
valid land tenures relentlessly and has
restored millions of fertile acres to the
home seekers. It has not been affect
ed by the money nor deceived by the
trick of the grabbers. Hence, it is
clear that the men who have gone into
No Mans Land with the intention of
finding homes will not meet anything
but friendly consideration from the
government.
The order is understood to affect the
cattle men who have fenced in large
tracts and are keeping out the settlers.
The tracts are selected from the best
land, and often have a monopoly of
water frontage for miles. Two or three
ranches may thus include or render use
less to other people many square miles
of good land. 1t is the gross injustice
to the individual settler, those who are
looking for an independent livelihood
by the sweat of their brows, that the
land Office seeks to overthrow.
No Mans Land is in very peculiar
condition, as everybody in the west
knows. Never having been brought
under any sort Of organization it has no
laws which are binding, and no courts
to enforce them If it had. A large pop
ulation has gone in there recently, es-
Inmates from residents putting it at
from 5000 to $4,000. There are four
or five towns of respectable size and
volume of business. None of the in
habitants hold their land by any legal
tenure because it has never been thrown
open to settlement. The
next congress will open tho country
without doubt. The settlers
who only ask for their proper share and
who live on and cultivate it may safely
rely on the protection of democratic
administration until congress acts def
nitely.-Kansas City Times.

1t is one OF the regrets of my life
that | never saw or heard Carlyle.
Nature, who seems to be fond Of trios,
has given us three dogmatists, all of
whom greatly interested their own
generation, and whose personality, es-
pecally in the case of the first and the
last Of the trio, still interests us
Johnson, Coleridge and Carlyle. Each
was an oracle in his way, but unfor-
tunatcly oracles are fallible to their
descendants. The author of Taxa
ton no Tyranny had wholesale opiu-
ions, and pretty harsh ones, about Us
Americans, and did not soften them
in expression: "Sir, they are race
of conyicts. and ought to be thankful
for anything we allow them short of
hanging. We smile Conplacently
when we read this outburst, which Mr..
Croker calls in question, but which
agrees with his saying i'm the presence
of Miss Seward, Il am willing to
love all mankind crccpt an american. "
A generation latcrcomes along Cole
ridge, with his circle Of reverential
listeners. He says of johnson that his
fame rests principally upon Boswell,
and that "his 5O30-1COlO manner must
have had a good deal to do with the
effect produced As To Coleridge
himself his contemporaries hardly
know how to set bounds to their exalta-
ton of his genius Dibdin comes pretty

The Population OF China.

The population Of China has been
matter of much discussion and doubt
among foreigners. 1t has been claimed
that the figures of the Chinese census
are much too high. There is, how
ever, no known reasons why the Off
cials cf that country should eXagger-
ate their population, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. There is no dis
putting the fact that the means exist
ing there for arriving at an accurate
census are most ample. Every house
must have a list of its inmates hung at
its door, and violation of this is
visited with punishment, The impe-
rial and local taxes are based in part
upon the numbers Of the people. The
most difficult task imposed upon the
provincial rulers is the furnishing the
amounts Of money demanded by the
imperial government, and any excess
i've census return would only increase
that difficulty. 1t Is only a fair pre-
sumption that il the census returns are
incorrect they are too small ra'1er
than too large.
The census OF 1875 gave the popuia-
ton of the empire 435,000,000. Since
that time Tonquin has been lost with
several million people, and kashgaria
has been reconquered. Among no
people with any degree of civilization
is the birth rate so high as in China,
and, although the death rate in the
denselv crowded districts is very great
there is every reason TO presume there
are now 450,OO0sOO0 people in China
These figures represent more than
one-third of the population of the
globe 1t is a greater population than
that of all Europe, and three times the
number of people on the western con-
tlneut Even at these enormous fig
ures the average number of people To
the square mile tor the whole empire
eighty-live-is not so high rs in some
parts of the United States.
In the great mountain ranges, on
the arid plains of Kashgaria and the
snowy regions of Mongolia and Man
churia, the population is sparse, but
in the eight central provinces of Chin.
proper-in the fertile, alluvial soils
the population IS denser and more
crowded than in any other region of
equal extent on earth. The villages
there are almost beyond enumeration,
and the numbers of walled cities in
credible to those who have not seen
them. In the two Kiang provinces at
the mouth Of the Yangtz river, with
an area of 10000 square miles, the pop
ulahon in 1875 was 72,000,O00, and
there were l25 walled cities
The census of 1875 was taken when
the richest portions of these two prov
inces had been devasted and depopu-
lated by the TAPPING rebellion. Since
that time there has been n great in
pouring of people from other regions
of the empire, especially from those
districts where the famine of 1873 pre-
vailed. The natural increase Of popu-
lation has also been very great, and 1t
would be safe to say that these 10000
square miles have now more than
eighty million people.
